6. You are studying the saponification reaction using CSTR setup in the lab. NaOH (A) + CH,COOC,H, (B)- CH, COONa (C) + C,H,OH (D) You operated CSTR at following conditions VA60ml/min, Ve 60ml/min Volume of reactor 0.4 liter, Concentration of A in the feed tank =0.12 M Concentration of B in the feed tank =0.1 M Temperature -25C Measured conductivity of product at steady state=8.6 mS/cm A. Find the initial conductivity value [1 mark] B. Find final conductivity value (A) [2 mark] C. Generate the conductivity (A) vs conversion (limiting reactant) equation by exploiting the fact that conversion (limiting reactants) and conductivity is linear [hint: Use concentration vs conductivity equation and convert it to conversion). (2 mark] D. Find the conversion of limiting reactant for given measured conductivity of product mixture using the equation in part C.[1 marks] E. Find the concentrations of A and B at the exit of reactor at steady state.[2 marks]
